Benfica vs Inter Milan lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news and injury latest for Champions League today

Romelu Lukaku starts Inter Milan’s Champions League clash with Benfica tonight on the bench.

Edin Dzeko instead partners Lautauro Martinez up front for the Serie A side.

The Portuguese giants will be without the injured trio of Goncalo Guedes, Julian Draxler and Mihailo Ristic for Tuesday's clash, while Nicolas Otamendi misses out due to a suspension.

Alexander Bah also misses out after being withdrawn during the first half of last week's loss to Porto.

For Inter, injuries have also struck down some key players. Milan Skriniar and Hakan Calhanoglu came out of the international break with fitness issues and miss out as expected.

Lukaku struggled against Salernitiana last week and duly drops to the bench for the quarter-final clash in Lisbon.

Starting lineups

Benfica XI: Vlachodimos; Gilberto, Silva, Morato, Grimaldo; Florentino, Chiquinho; Mario, Silva, Aursnes; Ramos

Inter Milan XI: Onana; Dumfries, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Dzeko
